Scope:

ASTM F2877 is crucial to define and measure the response of the products, materials, or assemblies to flame and heat in controlled conditions. The non-combustible passive fire safety insulation installed meets the best degree of commercial fire resistance expected. Mainly this test method is beneficial to assess the ability of a non-flammable passive fire protection system installed on structural divisions on industrial ships to feature after shock loading.

Test Procedure:

In ASTM F2877, an unshocked test specimen and the shocked test specimen are examined for fire resistance following the shock testing. Both the shocked and unshocked test specimens are installed side-by-side in a fixture and fire tested simultaneously. The fire resistance for each sample is measured and recorded.

Specimen Size : 

For ASTM F2877, the maximum temperature rise of the thermocouple at the shocking fire test specimen should not be more significant than 180°C.

Data:

The fire test report consists of all information relevant to the test details as specified in the IMO Resolution.

Conclusion:

ASTM F2877 is crucial to define and measure the response of the products, materials, or assemblies to flame and heat in controlled conditions.
